Dr. Nicholas DeRobertis, who was involved in training Westchester paramedics and emergency medical technicians and developing protocols for hospital emergency departments throughout the county, died Monday. He was 60.

"Dr. DeRobertis was an incredible advocate for all EMTs and paramedics in Westchester County," said Jim O'Connor, vice chairman of the Westchester Regional Emergency Medical Services Council. "He wanted to make sure that when you dialed 911, you got the same level of care no matter where you were."
